Metro in Rally de Portugal

Metro is the easiest way to get to Rally de Portugal Porto Street Stage. This event is going to take place on May 20th at 7pm between Trindade and São Bento. Metro do Porto has an operation specially prepared for the day.

During all day, metro will have all the lines reenforced ensuring a safe and comfortable journey to the public. The use of Trindade and Bolhão stations is recommended. Due to security reasons Aliados Station (Line D) is going to be closed. São Bento Station, also in line D, will be operational with some restrictions if needed.

All passengers must have an Andante card valid for the journey planned. To avoid queues at the stations it’s highly recommended to have an Andante card previously charged with travelling titles needed.

This kind of show attracts thousands of people so, due to the high number of people and the roadblocks that will be made downtown it's advisable to use Metro to get to Aliados. In need to use the car, people should go to Estádio do Dragão where there's a parking lot with 850 parking spaces and then take the Metro to Trindade or Bolhão stations. There are other parking lots in Campanhã, Estádio do Mar (Barranha Park), Sete Bicas and Pólo Universitário.
